Select the efi framebuffer if efi is enabled.
This appears to be needed for video output to function correctly.

depends on FBWhy do we need FB here? Framebuffer support should be hidden by DRM's fbdev helpers.
It is not needed but gives him video output since it enables the drm fbdev emulation.
I'm not sure to understand this. Shouldn't depend on DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION then?
I looked some more at the logs and it seems weston doesn't work on his system without the fbdev backend. So the question is why weston isn't working without fbdev? Perhaps this is just a Weston configuration issue?
But is weston using the fbdev emulated by DRM or the one registered by efifb? I thought that the latter from what was mentioned in this thread.
